Hello.
I hope this message finds you well.
I've got one physical sim for personal use, and one esim for work.
How can I set it up so that the esim is used during work and the personal sim is used for personal stuff.
Specifically, I'd like the ability to choose diffirent ringtones for both and to select a certain number to use directly when making a call, plus any other advice you can give.
Thanks.

I agree, but what happens if someone needs to communicate with you on the personal number?

I would probably do the same if I had enough ringtones to go around LOL. BTW, please send me a contact request if you don’t mind. There’s a couple questions I would like to ask you if that’s okay.

Hi,
Having used multiple sims in the past, I'm sorry to say you can't set a different ringtone/text tone for each, though as has been mentioned, you can for individual contacts.
That said, if you are looking for a second line I would consider the Youmail app, if you're in the US/Canada. With a second number, the way the service works, you can specify your second line having its own ringtone.
While you will have to pay for a second line, it will actually be cheaper in most cases than having one through another carrier.
I hope this helps.
